Magnanimous Mosquitos

One of the most remarkable messages I have received to date came from the mosquitos.

It happened a couple of years ago when a small group of us had a practice where we would unite with the Creator, Gaia, Holy Masters and our higher selves and send love and light out to the world. 

One particular day I had the intention to heal war through transmitting the love and acceptance of the heart space. The pain, suffering and conflict of those who have ever died in battle and those in battle now were transmuted into peace, love and acceptance. I felt absolute calm and tranquility and in my inner eye I saw daffodils growing where battlefields once were. 

As I sank into a deeper meditation, the outline of a rotund figure with a bowler hat and cigar appeared, and then I heard the booming voice of Churchill broadcasting from the silence. He told me:

“The light is shining brightly, and the atmosphere is one of cheer and celebration. Not since armistice day have I felt such joy, but this time such a peaceful elation. 

Suffering souls are rejoicing with their freedom from pain. They are touched by the love and compassion of the uniting of hearts that are in true service and I thank you sincerely and humbly from the bottom of my heart. 

Our vibration has changed and stretches to the shores of all that is, to the distant worlds beyond your comprehension. Remembrances have become sweeter and optimism is being restored.  

In this moment know ultimate peace is achievable.”

The message was actually longer, and I will share another time, but today the limelight is for the mosquitos. 

When I came out of my meditation I felt amazing, filled with love, compassion, so light and shiny. Unstoppable and unrufflable.

As the day progressed, however, I experienced things to irritate and stress me, and the blissful peace disappeared. It was like I was being tested about how to live in the physical world with its perceived realities and remain in my heart and maintain the blissful peace of that space. 

I was prompted to take a walk across our property to the native bush out the back — the earth and the trees were calling me. But I put this off and put this off, getting further embroiled in ‘life’.

Eventually towards dusk, feeling really fed up and irritated, I finally listened and went for a walk, barefoot, connecting to our dear loving Earth with her open healing arms. This in itself was therapeutic.

Then, as I stepped into the cover of the beautiful native trees, I found the same peace as I had experienced in my morning meditation. It was so clear, so light and so beautiful. I felt incredible gratitude and knelt down on the soft forest floor feeling so blessed. 

But my attention was soon caught by the high pitched “zzzzee" in my ears of mosquitos. Then I noticed them flurrying around me, landing on my clothes and skin. 

Irritation started to arise as I brushed them aside, annoyed that ‘they were disturbing my beautiful moment of peace in my beautiful forest sanctuary.’ 

Then I was surprised as I realised they wanted to communicate and I discovered the beautiful lesson in their presence.

Mosquitos: “We are here, we are here, we are buzzing around you and we want to join you too. We remind you that we are all part of the greater whole, that we all have our part to play. Please do not be exclusive. Please make no judgement. Please accept us for what we are.  We too, with dedicated heart, serve the Creator of all that is. Thank you so much. 

We are honoured and happy to be part of everything that you have been doing. We feel the effects. We live in the peace of the forest and want to share this with you. 

Please be accepting of our humble role. And we apologise deeply for any irritation that we cause. 

We are living our life in accordance with the divine principles and the universal life force with which we were bestowed life, the same as you have been bestowed life. 

We have more limitations than you have, but we work within the confines of what we are. And we do so with the utmost integrity. Please, please include us in your practices and do not forget every single creature that is here on this earth who can be of service with you. Thank you so much.”

I had to smile to myself as I realised the connection to the healing practice earlier in the day regarding war and battles. For here was an “army” of mosquitos who I perceived as ready to attack, and I had habitually gone into “fight back the enemy” mode myself, all love and compassion out the window. 

Yet aren’t the mosquitos part of the world we live in, with their place and their role? And rather than them invading my space, wasn’t I in their domain? They taught me a big lesson that day, and highlighted how easy it is, too, for us to take for granted our own preconceived ideas, prejudices and irritations which lead us to do battle with that which we perceive to be wrong. 

As I walked back home again, reflecting on the events of the day, my heart was at peace again. And whenever I do a practice where I unite with the Creator, the Earth, Holy Masters etc, I always also include the mosquitos (and the ants, but that is another story!).
